LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) WALDY AND WALDY AND THE EARL OP BC The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner ; Dr. Swabey and Mr. Webster for the respon dent; and Mr. M. Chambers, QC., and Mr. Inderwieli far the co-respondent, This was a suit instituted by the husband for a dissolu tion of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, and he also claimed damages. The re spondent and co-respondent appeared and pleaded denial. The Advocate, in opening the case, said that the peti tioner was a gentleman of considerable property and a ma gistrate, residing near Stockton-on-Tees, Durham, and the c o - respondent was Stuart Erskine, Lord Cardross, com monly known as the Earl of. Buchan. The parties were Married on the 25th October, 1552, at Trinity Church, Marylobone. They lived very happily together, having one child, a daughter, issue of the marriage. The co-respon dent was introduced to the respondent by a Mr Dickson, a mutual friend, at a race meeting in Yorkshire, when it ap peared that the co• respondent took advantage of this intro duction to commit the most heartless adultery, by availing himself of the weakness and vanity of the respondent. Lvidence would be given that in May and June, 1863, adultery had been committed at 6, Midland-street, Derby, &C. The respondent went to visit a man at Darlington, and delayed his journey to stay at Darlington. The circumstance which led to the discovery of the adultery was caused by Lord Buchan writing to Mrs Waldy at her nephew's, and this letter the wife of the latter opened by mistake, through which he ascertained the intimacy that subsisted between the respondent and Lord Buchan. This was im mediately communicated to the petitioner, and the present proceedings were consequently instituted. He (t he Queen's Advocate) would not ask for any specific amount of damages, but would leave that question for the icrY. During his address the learned counsel read several letters from the respondent to the petitioner, which proved that they lived on affectionate terms. Another letter from the wife was also read, in which she admitted her criminality, and prayed to be forgiven. Let ters from the co-respondent showing the intimacy between them were also produced. The marriage was proved. Mr Dickson was then called, and proved having intro dcoed Mrs Waldy and Lord Buchan to each other. George Cleghorn said he was waiter at the King's Head, Darlington, and knew Lord Buchan. On one occasion, When he entered the room, he saw Mrs Waldy and Lord Buchan sitting as close together as possible. She came to the hotel with two young ladies, who went out and left her and Lord Buchan together, and they had lunch by them selves. Margaret Craig, lady's maid, ga ve some cr i m i nttive evidence. Uoy Fritchley, a chambermaid at the Midland Hotel, beiliy, proved both Lord Buchan and Mrs Waldy'having elect at the hotel in one bed. Some other evidence was called, which closed the peti tiooer's case. There was no evidence called for the defence. The jury after about 20 minutes' deliberation, found that the adultery had been committed, and assessed the damages at .£2,000. 40NEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market there is not ranch business in progress, the mercantile com munity being induced to hold over their bills until after the Bank Court to-morrow, in the hope of a reduction of 1 per cent. in the official minimum. The lowest rate out of doors is now 51- per cent., but there is a very large supply of floating capital. There was no material change in the foreign e aebanges yesterday. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Union Bank of London was held to-day--Mr. I '. N. Laurie in the chair. The report, which was l animously adopted, declared a dividend f or th e ll ast six months at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 2 per cent, on the paid-up Capital, being at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, Clea r of income tax; and after payment of the abo ve, amounting to £78,000, there will remain a b alance of £77,363 6s 2d. A special meeting was * also held for the purposa fro m consideri ng t h e propriety of increasing the capital 'r°lll £3,000,000 to £4,000,000, by the creation of 20 ,000 now shares of £5O eacb. The resolution Was unanimously agreed to, and it was also reso:vtd t ° issue the shares at £3O, bearing a premium of £l5 each. The directors of the English, Scottish, and Aus tralian Chartered Bank have issued their report of the result of the operations of the Company for the half year en di ng 31st March in the Colonies, and th June in London. The balance of profit is £28,467 Os. 10d., which the directors pro pose to appropriate as follows :—To the pay. meat of a dividend at the rate of 6 per C n e nt• per annum, free of income-tax, on £600,000, '.48,090; towards the redaction of bank premises andf urniture accounts, £ l,OOO ; to the reserved fund, £6,000; which will then amount to £43,000, leaving balance of £1,467 Os 10d to be carried forward. ~., We understand that the far-famed Oxford and uatterbary Halls are about to be merged into a joint-stock company under the Limited Liability Ac t' This step is taken, not because there is any foressity t o p l ace the undertakings on a wider basis, !both are in a very flourishing condition, but to give Mr. Charles Morton, the present sole proprie !Or, the opportunity of ultimately withdrawing from t he cares of active management, although the corn- Pally, in which he is a very large shareholder, will sot lose the benefit of his advice and co-operation.

The certified accounts show aThe n enamel profit of upwards of 25 per cent. capital of the company is £120,000 in 8,000 share s of £l5 each.

Frederick Charles Bricknell, aged 22, a respectable-look ing young man, late a waiter at the Lion Tavern, in the New Cattle-market, was indicted with the wilful murder of Jane Geary, also a servant at the same tavern, on the night of the Sth of June last. Mr Giffard appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Sleigh defended the prisoner. The learned counsel having briefly opened the case, called the following witnesses : Mr Henry Keeble, of the Lion Tavern, said I assist my uncle. I was in the bar about half-past eleven. I saw the prisoner come down stairs with a knife in his hand; he said, "I've done it, and here, Mr Henry, is the knife." I took hold of him and said, " You scoundrel, come down stairs." The knife was covered with blood. I brought him down and left him in charge of a policeman. I placed the knife on the counter. The knife produced is the one I took from the prisoner. Mary Platen, chambermaid at the Lion, deposed that she and deceased were going up stairs to bed—they both slept in the same room—but when we got to the second landing I recollected that a gentleman lodging in the house was not within. I had but partly got down stairs when I heard a scream, and I returned up stairs. As I was going up the prisoner was coming down. I seized hold of his collar and said " You shan't go a step further." Mr Koeble came up and took hold of the prisoner. I then went up stairs and found the deceased lying on her face. Richard Gardiner, head waiter at the Lion Tavern, said—l heard the scream and ran upstairs immediately afterwards ; I passed Mr Koeble and the prisoner on the stairs, and on arriving at the second landing I found the deceased lying on her face ; I raised her head, and held it up until a surgeon came. The deceased never spoke, and only shivered once. I afterwards saw a deep wound in her breast. Cross-examined by Mr Sleigh—l never noticed that the prisoner of late exhibited symptoms of despondency and melancholy. Charles Hill, boots at the Lion, said it was my duty to sit up at night. The prisoner called me about 11 o'clock. Previous to my going out of the room, the prisoner said, " Good night, Charles, perhaps I may see you again, I may come down for something." I heard a scream, and I ran up stairs and saw the prisoner and Mr Keeble, Pri soner said, "Oh Hill, I've done it," I recollect on a Sun day night, about a fortnight beforo this, a cousin of the deceased was there. The cousin, I, and another man had a glass of baer together. The prisoner was present, and pointing to the cousin said, " That man hag, broken my peaco of mind." Cross-examined by Mr Sleigh—The prisoner at times was very desponding, and appeared to be very fond of the deceased, and about nine months ago the deceased appeared partial to him, but latterly not se much. Police -constable Lover took the prisoner into custody. I told him be was charged with stabbing the deceased. He replied, "I'll tell you all about it." 1 cautioned him, after which he said, " She is the only girl that I ever liked, and, poor girl, she has got it, and I hope she is dead." A gen tleman then came into the room, and shaking his head, said, " She's gone." Prisoner said he would rather she was dead than any one else should have her." Inspector Richardson said when the statements of the witnesses were read over to the prisoner, he said, " I did it. I loved the girl, and that was the reason I did it." Mr George Tait, surgeon, said I was called in to see the deceased. She was then quite dead, The incised wound on the upper part of the left breast was the cause of death, the instrument with which it was inflicted had punctured the heart. Mr Sleigh having addressed the jury for the prisoner, The jury, after about five minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Clerk of Arraigns then asked the prisoner, in the usual form, whether he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him. lle merely shook his head. The learned Judge said—Frederick Bricknell, you have been found guilty, on the clearest evidence, of the crime of which you are charged, and no person could reasonably entertain a doubt to the contrary. The law protects the weak against wrongful violence, and that law condemns you to make atonement by death, that your case may become a fearful warning to others. I hope that you will devote the short time now allotted you to live to repentance and prayer, as you can expect no mercy this side of the grave, My du'y is to pass upon you a fearful sentence—namely, that lou be taken hence to the place from whence you came, and from there to a place of execution; that you be there hanged by the neck until you be dead, and th a t your body be atterwards buried within the precincts of the prison in which you aro confined. Nay God Almighty have mercy upon you, At the conclusion of the sentence the Rev. Mr D av i s, the ordina r y o f N ewga t e , said "Amen," and the p r i soner, Who had maintained the most perfect indifference through out the whol e o f th e t r i a l, left the dock apparently quite 111404:mud.

TWO PERSONS STABBED BY AN ITALIAN.--AR Italian, whose name was understood to be Luigi Panni, and who is said to be an organ player, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stabbing two young men in the employ of Mr John Knott, tripe dresser, of Walker's-court, Pulteney-street, named John Midmer and Henry Bathe. John Midmer, whose head was bandaged, said—Last night a little after 12 I was in Oxford-street, near the corner of Charles-street, seeing a companion home. We went into an oyster shop, and on coming out saw two organ men with organs, and the prisoner with a stick, which he was flourish ing about. I said to the prisoner, " Mind what you are a bout—you will put somebodye:'eS out." We then walked away and went into a publichouse to have a glass together, and the prisoner and the two men followed us. At the time a policeman was stanling near, but on our coming out of the publichouse the policeman had gone. The prisoner then came up and seizhl me by the arm and turned me round. I asked the prisoner why ho did it, and told him to go away, as I did not wish to have any words with him. The prisoner then took a stick from one of the organ men and made an attempt to strike me, but I caught hold of the stick and prevented him. One of the organ men , and the prisoner put out a knife, and cut his then me o hn t oa theonkd the cihn et stick eok .hsl from fpeol cl k t d h eot e w p ann r , i d s a o nt n od e o r tkb prisoner fell on me, and tried to cut me again. My companion took the pri soner from me, and the prisoner stabped or cut my com panion twice. lN u i r r T Prhoner attempt to cut your Midmer—l did; with the sam e knife. The police came, companionyrw hitt— ?Did you see the and we were then taken to the Middlea3x Hospital, where our wounds were dressed.

I only spoke to him about flourishing the stick. Vent into an oyster shoptho, Midmer, said—Last La wh s i t l en therei night I say the two organ men and the prisoner pass the latter flourishin g a st i ck, Midmer He n w r i y th B M a spoke to the prisoner about flourishing the stick, and the Prisoner then clawed at Midmer's face, saying he could speak good English. I went with Midi:tier into a public house, and on coaling out in about five minutes, we found the prisoner and the two men waiting at the public-house door. Tho prisoner then walked up to Midmer and caught hold of him—following him acros the road to do so —and Midmer and prisoner closed and fell. Midmer cried out " Harry lam stabbed," I then went And pulled the pri soner cft Midmer, and while doing sc the prisoner stabbed me under the bladebone, there being a wound six inches in length, and also in the muscle of the arm about three inches in length. I did not at first know that I was stabbed, it was so momentarily done, and I struck the pri soner with my injured arm. Mr Tyrwhitt—That accounts, I suppose, for the blood on the prisoner. Batho—lt does, sir. I then became faint from the loss of blood, but contrived to walk to the Middlesex H osp it a l. A certificate was handed to Mr Tyrwhitt from the hos pital, stating the injuries the complainant had received. Mr Henry Francis Martyn, tobiccomst, of 54, Rathbone place, proved picking np the knife. There was blood on it at the time, and he gave it to the police. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. IVESTAIINSTER. GENTLEMANLY AMUSEMENT.—Mr Sidney Vara Alston and Lieut. Rutherford, of the Royal Marine Barracks, Woolwich, were charged before Mr Dayman with wilfully damaging the lining of a Hackney carriage, the property of Mr. Henry Townsend, cab-proprietor. Thomas Weather, cab-driver, No. 3, St. George's-road, said that about 5 o'clock that morning he was hired by the prisoners to go to Sussex-street, Pimlico. Another gentle man and two females entered the cab. He had got as far as the corner of Warwiek.street with them when they all were about to leave. Upon the prisoner coming out of the cab witness observed the lining of the roof hanging down. He called the prisoners' attention to the lining, when one of the females said that it was cut by Alston. He gave the prisoner into custody. The females and the other man ran away. Witness offered to take a solereign for the damage. Alston offered 55., which witness reused to accept. The other prisoner was insensibly drunk. Mr Dayman—What did Alston Say to the charge? Witness—He said that the lining was torn when he got in the cab. But the cab had only been relined about a fort. night. I received no fare. Mr. Townsend, 2, Regent-street, Westminster, stated that the damage to the cab and the cost of repairing it would be about 225. The prisoner Alston was fined 225,, Rutherford was discharged, and the cabman was allowed 10s, THAMES. SINGULAR ANNOYANCE—KNOCKING UP A RELIEVING OFFICER.—JuIia Donovan, an Irish midwife, about GO years of age, and dwelling at No. 18, St. Dunstan's-place, Ratcliffe, was brought before Mr ?aget, charged with wil fully disturbing Mr John Wright at an unseasonable hour and unlawfully knocking at his door. Mr John Wright, relieving officer of the Hamlet of Rat cliff, in the Stepney Union, stated that a quarter past 3 o'clock this morning he was disturbed by a loud knocking at the door ,of his house, No. 11, York-square, Stepney. He leaped from his bed, and before he could open the door of his room the knocking was repeated. He partially dressed himself and went to the street door. The knocking never oeaeed until he:opened,the:door. He taw . the prisoner holding on by the knocker and very much intoxicated. He asked her A what she wanted, and she said, " Wh at a b ou t t h a t case of ngell, on Monday ?" He told her hi s o ffi ce h ours a t th e Ratcliff Workhouse were from 10 to 12 in the day, and she must come then if she had any bus ness with him. She said she was debilitated, and wanted to go home. He told her ho had no water for her, and thEt she must go home. She refused to leave. A police-con s t e b le made his appear ance, and he gave the prisoner i nto custody. On the 9th of April brat she knocked him up at half-past 3in the morn ing, and said she wanted an order for the doctor of the Union to attend a poor woman in labour. He gave her an order, which she never made 01-In answer to Mr Paget as to the motive which induced the prisoner to make suc h unseasonable calls, Mr Wright called upon him some time ago, distress. He relieved her with br ea d sad oatmeal and went and said the pr i soner mid she was in great dis tress, her h us band could afford ba con fcr his breakfast and roast m utton for his dinner. He refused, o f course , to re lieve her evehde:velling-house. There w ere lac indications of an y more, and she adopted this system of annoy- ance. The prisoner, in defence, said she vas exceedingly de bilitated.this morning. Mr Paget—Yes. You were debilitated, as you term it, from drink. You were intoxicated at 15 minutes past three this morning. The prisoner—No, I was not. I have lived in the hamlet of Radcliff since 1820. Mr Paget said the prisoner was exleedingly bad cha racter, and wanted to live on th e industry and hard earn ings of the ratepayers. He fined her 10G., and in default orefepayment 14 days' imprisonment i n the House of Cor . io American Affairs, A writer in the Times says—The progress of the campaign verifies the opinions which have been ex pressed in your columns. No Northern general has equalled Grant in perseverance and recklessness of life, but in military judgment, the most essential of all qualities in a commander, he seems below the level of most of his discarded predecessors, No two men could be foiled who had more eigetally proved their military incompetence than Butler auei Siegel. These were the subordinates he approved. A third, whose miserable failure in South Carolina gave him some claim to compete with them in imbecility, was Hunter, and he of course was the. next appointment. The judgment displayed in these arrangements has been carried out in his operations in the field. With. out one exception Grant has failed in every movement of the campaign. He failed to get between Lee and Richmond, his object when he crossed the Rapidan ; he failed to reach Spottsylvania before him, or to break him there, or to pierce his lines at Cold Harbour. He failed to seize Fort Darling, or to surprise Petersburg, or to enter Gordonsville, or to reach Lynchburg. He has indeed succeeded in tearing up rails at several points, putting the Rich mond Government to the trouble of replacing them, which is usually done within 24 hours by a gang of men kept on the alert. With the Spring wasted, and a loss of 80,000 men, he occupies today a posi tion twice as far from Richmond as Malvern-hill, where his transports might have placed him on the Ist of March without his burning a cartridge. The siege of Richmond has miserably come down to that of Petersburg, and the general who undertook to surround the cepital is unable to invest so much as half of the southern side of a little county town. When, after his terrible repulse at Cold Harbour, it became necessary for Grant to find some other point of attack, Malvern-hill at once presented these advantages. It was within 10 miles of Rich mond, with no difficulty on the way; it was clear of the swamp, and the James river brought supplies right up to it. Ib oonla he made impregnable against attack in front, and there could be no enemy in the rear. Discarding all these considerations, with rare obtuseness of judgment, Grant decided to take the south side of the James river, which pre-( sented the following requirements,— first, to take Petersburg, which could not be left in his rear ; then to cross the Appomattox; then to force back the enemy over more than 20 miles and several strong positions; then to take Fort Darling, which could not be left on his right flank; then to besiege the suburb of Richmond, which is south of the James river. Having effected all this, he would find an impassable river between himself and the city, and not only does an attack from the south involve two sieges instead of one, but the main city, standing on high ground. commands the southern bank of the river, which would be untenable if it were ever gained. It is true some shells might be thrown into the city, but they would be returned, and Richmond is no more to be terrified by Greek fire than Charleston. It would seem as if Grant had directed his choice by studying, not the art of war, but the New York papers, whose pet scheme of starvation he evidently adopted. Into Richmond there run not only four principal lines of railway, but also a canal of un usual magnitude, and a river flowing for 150 miles through a region untouched by the war. It is a very hopeless project to starve a city so situated, and whieh it was impossible to invest. But if this were the design the measures taken were singularly ill-judged. Instead of withdrawing a corps from Butler, he should have been strengthened so as to overthrow Beauregard and ee'z'e the Southern lines, while Grant, holding on to his intrenched position, detained Lee in his own front. It was clear, that if he himself moved, Lee would be free to respond with the advantage of an inner line, probably it was hoped that the fleet might render assistance, as at Vicksburg, when the opera tions were connected with the river. If this was the idea, it is a curious result that Grant should order vessels to be sunk to protect his own fleet from the enemy. A New York paper of June 29, when deploring the uselessness of the navy, observes, " It has been discovered that God Almighty had not made the James river to fit the Federal gunboats." Sherman's position is even less enviable than that of Grant. After a long pause he has suffered a dis. estrous repulse, and failed to carry any point of Johnson's position. If carried, his next march would bring him to the Chattohoochee, a formidable river to cross, and beyond it Atlanta would be found just as strongly fortified as Lynchburg proved to be. It might hare been wise had Johnson drawn him further into the State. As it is, Sherman's position is fall of peril. Sturgiss, moving to his aid from Memphis with a column of 8,000 men, suffered the most thorough defeat since Bull Run, none of his infantry escaping except as fugitives. Forrest, after this victory on his road, will soon be heard of in Sherman's rear, and part of the force no longer needed beyond the Mississippi is now pressing on to Georgia. It appears a choice for Sherman whether to make a disastrous retreat or to hold on and be hemmed in by armies in front and rear. Meantime another enemy is in the field of whom the Federals have long been warned in vain. Bankruptcy approaches with steady step, and no "flank movement" or " change of base" will stop it. Mr. Chase has set at defiance every rule of finance and every dictate of prudence. He has ingeniously contrived a system of compound infla tion. Not content with the effect of his green. backs, he has contrived to swell the currency by means of his funded stocks. By creating what are called "National Banks," he made his stocks the basis of another mode of augmenting the cur rency. For the time he thus produced an artifi• cial market for his securities, well knowing the ultimate consequence. It was "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die." The machine mi g ht as well take its chance of a crash at tL e bottom of the hill as be upset at once in the attempt to control it. There are, however, some things that will read badly on the page of future history. The Federe: l Government has invented a number of crimes un heard of before. It is now a crime for a New York merchant to buy or sell gold on the public exchange, he may be sent to gaol for it. It is a crime for him to buy a bill of exchange, and pay for it by a cheek ou his banker; he may be sent to gaol foe this sin. It is a crime to do what prudence often demands—that is, to contract for exchange to be delivered when a remittance will have,to be made ; he may be sent to gaol for this wickedness. Was there ever in the re cords of China or Japan a law in which the rights of persons, property, liberty, are so ignominiously de based ? And merchants of the city of New York submit to have such laws as these made for them To make the matter worse, there is the silliness of such things. Gold was at 95 when this Act was passed to depress it, and a few days afterwards it was at 145 premium. The ostrich that thinks to become invisible by sticking its head in the sand is about as near the mark as the legislators who imagine they can arrest the depreciation of an in flated currency by such means as these. The good people of Germany continue to buy Federal Stocks. With terrible loss on what they have bought, they propose to mend the matter by going on. Mr. Chase's last loan may be bought to-day to pay 14 per cent. interest or more. With gold at 258, the Lincoln dollar is worth is Bd, which looks tempting. But these German Federals might do well to inquire how the Union paid a similar debt—that of the Revolutionary war. That debt was trifling for the population and resources of the day when contrasted with the present sum total. Yet when the excitement of the war ceased, though the war was entirely successful, it was found im practicable to pay, and the settlement that was made by no means amounted to so much as two. pence in the dollar all round. Hence even from is 8d there is very considerable room to tumble. — Assuming that the utter failure of the Federal operations cannot now be far distant, the question that arises of chief interest to Europe is whether the event will end the war. Undoubtedly it is difficult to imagine how such financial machinery can revolve much longer, for prices rise in response to gold, and the enormous expenditure of the Go vernment increases daily. Its issues of paper in one form or other mast, therefore, grow more pro fuse. But the stock of belief in the most credulous of tall civilised people is not to' e exhausted in a day.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day. The SILEAKER did not take the chair until about half past 12, owing to the difficulty of getting 40 members present. NORTH-WESTERN AND CHARING-CROSS RAILWAY BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, changed from the Hampstead, Midland, North-Western and Charing-Cross Railway, Sir J. SHELLEY complained of sharp practice on the part of the railway company, the bill having been read in a morning sitting, when parties interested had no opportu nity of opposing. He should move next session that no private bill be taken at a morning sitting. Mr S. ESTCOURT said the right hon. baronet might have been present yesterday to oppose the bill. Even new it was not too late, if he felt so disposed, to arrest its pro gress. He thought the hon. member had nothing to com plain of. Mr BOUVERIE urged that parties had not had suffi cient notice. In such cases he thought there should be one clear day's notice of a motion to suspend standing orders. After some farther discussion, it was agreed that the standing order 226 should be suspended, and that the bill should be read a third time to-morrow. DUNDEE CHURCHES AND HOSPITAL BILL. On the motion of Mr C. FORSTER, it was agreed that in the case of this bill the examiner of petitions for private bills should have leave to proceed forthwith. BILLS WITHDRAWN. The Superior Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill, the Court of Queen's Bench (Ireland) Bill, and the Mar ried Women's Acknowledgment Bill, were withdrawn on the motion of Sir R Peel. UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT DILL. Mr. BOUVERIE, in moving the second reading of this bill, explained its nature and effect. It proposed to repeal the seventh section of the Act of Uniformity of Charles 11., requiring from certain dignitaries of the Church, and fellows and tutors of colleges, declarations of conformity to the Prayer B _wk. At Oxford and Cambridge there was some difference. At Cambridge there were no oaths or declarations of any kind on admission, and there were none on taking the ordinary degree in arts, but if an undergra duate obtained a scholarship who won a mark of distinotiun he had to take the oaths. He had to take an oath of obe dience to the college statutes. He did not intend to interfere with that oath where the statutes required it, but he objected to the Parliament or a mere taking the oath of conformity to the Church of England, whether the statutes required it or not. Secondly, he had to take the oath of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration; and, thirdly, under the Act of Uniformity, he had to make a declaration that he would conform to the Liturgy of the Church of England. It was this he asked the house to assist him in repealing. The universities were not merely seminaries forthe education of priests ; on the contrary, they were essentially lay corpo rations, and the fellowships were the prizes for literary and scientific energy. The system was injurious to the Church, to the men who were excluded, and to the universities themselves. Mr. WALPOLE said the bill was not of the little fin. portance the hon member seemed to admit. He saw no reason why it should be pressed upon the house when there was so much opposition to it out doors. The introduction of the principle laid down in the bill would lead to religious confusion to the promoters, end it would draw many from secular education, the foundation of religion on which the education stood, and on which the country was determined it should stand. whatever may be the nature of the educa tion determined upon. He deemed the proposition of the hon gentleman that the present system was unjust to the Dissenters, and injurious to the Universities and the Church. A University had been established in London in which all who did not conform to the Church of England might receire a university education, and by the establish ment of the college the grievances of the Dissenters was almost entirely removed. He moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Mr MONSELL complained that Mr Bouverie, by his bill, would inflict a serious injury on Roman Catholics. In a matter of civil rights it would put Roman Catholics on a pinnacle where they might be pelted at by all who differed from them. The right hon. gentleman (Mr Bouverie) had come down with professions of liberality on his lips while perpetrating this monstrous injustice. (Hear, hear.) He contended that in the National Univer sities education and religion should not be depreciated but he should advise the person who differed from the Esta blished Church might be at liberty to found colleges in the University, where their peculiar system of religion might be taught, while the students might have all the advan tages with regard to examinations and degrees which the University had to bestow. The right hon. gentleman wished to affirm that religion ought not to 'be the founda tion of education, and if he succeeded he would go on to something else. He (Mr Monsell) advised the house to resist the introduction of the bill, and to maintain the great principles on which the universities were founded. Mr WHALLEY said, the object of the Church was to make its boundaries as wide as possible, and supported the second reading of this bill, Mr NE ATE was sorry to differ from those with whom he usually acted, and opposed the bill, which he thought unwise after they had rejected the larger measure of throw ing open the universities. The house divided— For the second reading lOl Against it 157 Majority —s6 The bill was therefore lost. [LEFT SITTING.] The Price of Gold. The quota; ion of gold at Paris is about 2} per mille pm., and the short exc::ange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lop. per ounce 1: ,r standard gold, it appew s that gold is rather more than 1-101.1, per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold 18125 per mark and the short exchange on L~sndon is 13.51 per £1 stcrlinq% Standard gold at the English Viii t price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New Yon. on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 260 per cent., ab:l the premium on gold is 140 per cent. At these rates theie is probably a small profit on the importation of gold fro ;11 the United States. LYNCH LAW.—On Friday morning last at! Irish man named Anthony Sweenie died from severe II:- juries which he received in a collision which took place be tween the Scotch and Irish inhabitants of Crofthead on the previous Saturday night. On the night mentioned half a dozen Irishmen ,were drinking in an upper room in Mrs Wyper's publichouse, and they refused to leave at 11 o'clock, when desired by the servant. The policeman having been called in he was attacked, knocked down, and kicked by the Irishmen. Ultimately the policeman obtained assistance and put out the Irishmen, but on leaving the publichouse he was furiously attacked, knocked down, and kicked by the Irish, who had by this time increased in numbers. The offi cer's cries brought assistance, and he re-entered Wyper's, bleeding from the face and much injured from kicks about the ribs. It would seem that this cowardly and brutal treatment of the officer had got wind among the Scotch in. habitants, and that they had concerted measures for inflict ing summary justice upon the Irish, for a party of six of the latter were on their way home about midnight when they were set upon, on the road leading to Greenburn, where the Irish principally reside, by a band of men said to number 50 or 40, who attacked and knccked them down w ith pokers and re other weapons. Four of the six Irishmen receiveAdnsthevony wounds on the head, and one of them, T WO men have Sweenie, aged 30, notwithstanding medical amttcendtion, died, as we have said, on Friday morning last. in the attack apprehended on suspicion o f concernedbeingg i i me to attack on the Irishmen, and committed lllC int prison.

The man also purchased a plain gold signet ring set with a white cornelian stone. The man who effected the exchange was apparently about 30 years of age, of sallow complexion, and about five feet six or seven inches in height, and apparently a German, although he spoke English very well.
